Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) affects both young and old patients. However, outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) for these patients may vary with age. This study aimed to examine the effect of age on THA outcomes for non-traumatic ONFH patients, an area currently lacking research.
Methods: Patients who had non-traumatic ONFH undergoing THA with at least 2 years of follow-up were identified using a database and divided into four groups by age. Then, 4 matched control groups of patients who had hip osteoarthritis (OA) were created. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the rates of medical and surgical complications. Additionally, cohorts with a minimum 5-year follow-up were filtered to obtain further data on surgical outcomes. The study analyzed 85,462 non-traumatic ONFH and 80,120 hip OA patients undergoing THA.
Results: Multiple medical complications in ONFH patients increased with age. Periprosthetic fracture within 2 years increased with age, while 90-day wound complications, 2-year periprosthetic joint infections, dislocations, and revisions decreased. The trends for complications continued at the 5-year follow-up. Compared to OA patients, those who had ONFH had higher risks of most complications, but this discrepancy decreased with age.
Conclusions: In ONFH patients undergoing THA, medical complications generally rise with age, while most surgical complications, including revisions, decrease. It is notable that ONFH patients experienced more complications than those who had OA, but this difference diminished with age.

Bone marrow edema (BME), a notable manifestation during the progression of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), exhibits significant associations with femoral head collapse, pain, and prognosis, howeverits' pathogenesis remains underexplored. In this study, specimens from patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) were analyzed. The results revealed significantly higher Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores and CT low-density area ratio in the BME group compared to the control group.

Abnormal lipid metabolism is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to explore the lipidomic profiles of ONFH patients, focusing on distinguishing between traumatic ONFH (TONFH) and non-traumatic ONFH (NONFH) subtypes and identifying potential biomarkers for diagnosis and understanding pathogenesis. Plasma samples were collected from 92 ONFH patients (divided into TONFH and NONFH subtypes) and 33 healthy normal control (NC) participants.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenging condition, primarily affecting young and middle-aged individuals, which results in hip dysfunction and, ultimately, femoral head collapse. However, the comparative effectiveness of joint-preserving procedures, particularly in the early stages of ONFH (ARCO stage I or II), remains inconclusive. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a novel technique called small-diameter core decompression (CD) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for the treatment of early-stage ONFH.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the suitable surgical strategies for applying TaBw01 porous tantalum rod across different stages of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Methods: TaBw01 tantalum rods were fabricated using type FTaY-1 tantalum powder via the foam impregnation-sintering method. Mechanical testing with the Instron 8801 universal testing machine and finite element analysis (FEA) assessed single tantalum rod implantation and impaction bone grafting combined with rod implantation.

Introduction: The Steinberg classification system is commonly used by orthopedic surgeons to stage the severity of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), and it includes mild, moderate, and severe grading of each stage based on the area of the femoral head affected. However, clinicians mostly grade approximately by visual assessment or not at all. To accurately distinguish the mild, moderate, or severe grade of early stage ONFH, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hip joint of patients to accurately grade and aid diagnosis of ONFH.
